Kenneth Jewell
I was taking D.E.-Fall semester. Before his class, I was beginning to get discouraged that maybe I lost my ability understand new math concepts. That was until I took K.Jewell's class, he taught high level math in a way that gave me confidence in my skills in math that I haven't had in a long time!

Kudos to a wonderful team of interpreters! They have made the transition for me into my new role as Coordinator seamless. As interpreters, they are often behind the scenes so thought it would be nice to give them a shout out for all they do.

I was a student of Dr.P for A&P I, and I still think about how much she has made a difference in helping me reach my goals. She will go above and beyond to help you get the material. She makes her students feel confident and motivated!

Kim Smith
Kim went above and beyond to help me with my audio issues on Teams. The classroom in NK 360 was not set up for HyFlex and Kim came over right away with a mic/headset. I didn't lose any instruction time because Kim came over within minutes of my request. Now that's putting the students first!!

Our Office Assistant was out-of-the office and unavailable to assist our department. Julie was supportive and took the time to lend our team a helping hand with course section building. Thank you, Julie!

Mrs. Grieb, you are an awesome teacher! I have a learning problem and her teaching style made learning so much easier. Her instructions were always so clear, which helped me as a student in the long run. She is the best psych teacher at Wake Tech. I appreciate you understanding my struggles.

Chris McCann - Wake Tech ITS
Chris provides excellent service, going above and beyond his duties. Last week his service allowed me to flip an in-person class to an online class in a matter of a couple of hours. I appreciate all he does and wanted to publicly acknowledge his dedication and hard work.
